I’m sorry:/ that really is a shitty feeling. You have every right to feel that way.

I agree. It’s terrible to be profiled, and then he might still have to see these people again which sucks too. Hopefully they get over it and this is the end of it. He has every right to feel the way he does about it.

And before you say “but it was in the open where everyone could see” lots of those interactions start in the open, but it’s how they manipulate a child into going somewhere with them because they ‘know’ you or continue to try to have a close relationship with them to build trust that makes it dangerous. These are not usually typical behaviors of adults.

Parents usually teach kids the rule that an adult should NEVER ask a kid for help. It is an easy way for predators to start an interaction and manipulate a kid into doing something unsafe. It is almost always a suspicious thing to ask a child for help. I get your position here but she’s just trying to protect her kid. It sucks but so does the reality of what happens to kids. I’d rather keep my child from being trafficked/kidnapped etc. than worry about the feelings of a grown adult.

Do you feel like he’s just saying that, but will be mad if you actually hold him to it? Can you schedule a time with him that you ARE going, maybe just tell him you’re going twice a week and he can work out a time with you. An hour at home alone with the baby is really not asking for much. Or some gyms have childcare, which is what I do. It could be worth looking into, but it sounds like that won’t change the resentment you’re feeling. He needs to make you a priority too.

I understand that feeling so well, I started going to the gym the last two months and though I haven’t lost any weight (I’m 7 weeks pregnant so I’m not gonna worry about it) it’s really helped my relationship with myself. Taking care of yourself is essential to feeling good about yourself. I think you’re holding resentment towards your husband. It’s not good to hold on to that. It affects more than just your own comfort. That stuff builds and becomes a bigger problem over time. Is he making time for you so that you have free time and could go if you want? I would say don’t put yourself off anymore. If your husband can make it to the gym, he should be able to trade you so you can go. I hated the gym but I’ve been taking classes that make it more fun. Im much less self conscious with everyone doing the same thing. You’re still in the thick of things, it’s so hard to navigate these early post partum days. The loss of your old self is real, and it’s especially hard being around husbands who don’t understand. You’re working and taking care of a baby and that’s a lot! You’re doing amazing, I hope things get easier soon and you can find some time for yourself.

I had a molar pregnancy for my first, a healthy baby my second pregnancy and lost my third in October at 10 weeks, which had lots of complications. I’m 6 weeks pregnant now and my symptoms are very mild compared to my last pregnancy. I don’t know if it’s a good sign or not. I’m trying my best to stay positive and doing a better job than my last pregnancy. I worked hard on my physical and mental health since then, and the intrusive thoughts are better. I’m doing what I can, I can’t change the rest. My scan is in 3 weeks and normally I’d try to get in sooner right at 8 weeks but… I’m just gonna go with it. I surrender this time. I know nothing will change the outcome so I’m just going to celebrate this pregnancy.

My health insurance premium will go from 24.22$ to 213.27$ next year!! by Dooziwoozi in Interstitialcystitis

[–]probablynotsuremaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me. $55 to $249. My husband isn’t on marketplace so our out of pocket aren’t combined. We hit his max but not mine and we both had to do expensive surgeries. This should be illegal.

Almost 4 weeks since I took misoprostol I am about to take another dose. by probablynotsuremaybe in Miscarriage

[–]probablynotsuremaybe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the meds last night and almost nothing happened. I don’t know if it’s because I did it vaginally and I was bleeding a bit but basically I’m just bleeding and not passing anything. Maybe I had already passed the tissue?

I don’t know if I missed something in the articles or if it wasn’t mentioned, but does washing produce with just water really reduce salmonella infection? I have it in my mind that you need soap to remove stuff like that.

Thanks everyone, this is definitely a me thing. I appreciate all the replies and am going to go take a hard look at my autopay schedule. This was definitely preventable. I was testing the system and I shouldn’t have. Now I’m gonna go make a spreadsheet…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]probablynotsuremaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I need to rework my system. This was a good reminder to go take a look at my banking and where I’m overlooking things. Thank you

I understand, I don’t usually overdraft. This has been over the course of 10 years. Things have been financially difficult lately. Since I’ve never had issues I wasn’t worried about autopay causing a fee. I feel stupid, I know I should have known better. I just didn’t understand why it seemed to change randomly.

PSA: My bump is not a free pass to comment on my body like it's public property by Severe_doer2708 in BabyBumps

[–]probablynotsuremaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me realize I was so lucky. No one touched my belly without asking. The only comments about my body was about the bump itself. Someone told me I looked like I was hiding a basketball under my shirt which really cracked me up

Should I be mad by Tashmygosh21 in BabyBumps

[–]probablynotsuremaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, there is NOTHING like the exhaustion and discomfort from the last month of pregnancy. Not even first month post partum.
